What happens when you have a heart attack? Reporter Wendi Winters decided to find out with the help of county paramedics and the staff of the University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center in Glen Burnie. With the cooperation and coordination of the Anne Arundel County paramedics from Earleigh Heights Station 12, and the Emergency Medical and CCL at UM BWMC, Winters was taken through a simulated process of a "typical" heart attack.
